There is something VERY oddly satisfying about the machine this game slowly builds. At first you can barely move a few tiles, this is where the familiarity system comes in. The more things you do (interact, talk, fight) on each tile, the better at doing that thing on that tile you become. This allows you to slowly branch out, programming your route, looping and looping, over and over so you can reach that next tile a little easier than before... THIS GAME PRINTS DOPAMINE. The world is great to explore, the more you pass each tile you slowly uncover the adjacent tiles too. This allows you to potentially slowly find another path. As you go you will start to find little quests to do (though not to obvious) like explore a sewer a few hundred times... oooh whats in it? Great game. I'm hoping to find more games similar to this.

The whole idle aspect and the resulting grind, especially later in the game, really does it a disservice. I feel like it would be better off as a puzzle game with maybe 10–20 hours playtime. Instead I played 100 hours of which I was mostly AFK. But the planning and watching of your routes is really fun nonetheless.

An incremental/idle game where your progress feels much more substantial than higher and higher numbers -- it's a joy to feel as if you're exploring this strange little fantasy land, and you gain surprising affection with NPCs who only give you something more to know about them every few hundred interactions. I've been playing 20 hours and am nowhere near the end, but I dread when it *will* end (though perhaps by then the idle addiction will have worn off).

Like many people, I was confused when I first saw Stuck in Time. It had the exact same visual style as Loop Hero. It had "loop" in its name. Was it related, a sequel, the same devs? No. For some reason the game had chosen to ape the style of a completely different game, possibly hoping to ride its coattails. And then, once I played Stuck in Time, I was confused again. It wasn't a copy or clone of Loop Hero; they were nothing alike. And, more importantly, Stuck in Time was fun on its own merits. It was an interesting game without needing to resort to the tactics it did. So that's where I started with Stuck in Time, but I'm glad to say that's not were I ended. Stuck in Time is an idle/looping game about exploring and finding more and more efficient paths through a world in a single period of time before you reset to the beginning of the path once you run out of resources. It's much more of a puzzle and problem solving game than anything else, and despite the idle tag it's played quite actively. There can be periods of idling thanks to a specific mechanic, but it's mostly trying to find efficient paths. The core mechanic of Stuck in Time is, well, time. You have a certain amount of time before you reset your progress and you spend a certain amount over time by moving or taking actions but, importantly, you become more efficient at any given action the more times you've done it, including just moving over a tile. Thus the game becomes a fun balance between letting a specific path run over and over until you're very efficient at it, and exploring all new paths that you're quite slow at and finding the most efficient route through them. The game paces the complexity nicely, letting you understand the efficiency mechanic before it starts throwing more and more complexity at you. It also has a route saving feature, allowing you to keep your completed paths while simultaneously trying new paths for efficiency and unlocks. Then, by the time you're at the very end of the game, you can combine all your paths into one enormous loop, completing the challenges of every zone in the game in a single, unbroken loop. It's very satisfying. All told, Stuck in Time is quite a unique game and very interesting to complete. The mixture of puzzle and idle is fascinating, and solving problems through efficiency-based repetition scratched a weird itch in my brain.

Picked this up on sale for $2.79 (65% off), and honestly, it’s a steal. The core gameplay loop is all about refining efficiency—tweaking resource management and optimizing progression until you’re running the perfect cycle. Super satisfying if you love min-maxing. It starts simple but ramps up as you unlock better strategies, making every improvement feel earned. For the price, it’s a no-brainer. If you like the thrill of making systems run like a well-oiled machine, this one’s worth your time.
